hey guys i was just lookin on thirdgenresource and i found that they sell t-56 6-speed trans with the bellhouseing, clutch, pressureplate, flywheel, slave cyl. , master cyl. and even pedels.
now form wut i have heard and seen this is an amazing deal. am i correct? also i have a t-5 in my car so i woudln;t need the pedels or master cyl. right?? thanks

 

you would need the slave. 1400 sounds good

 

I was thinking of buying that one, but decided I would rather have a built 700R4 for that price rather than a stock OEM 6 speed out of transam with miles on it.

Yeah its a good deal but for that price, like i said, 700R4... Built to the max...

 

Most of the kits I've seen go for about 1500, so thats a decent price. You can find them cheaper than that though, I got mine for 1300. Since you already have a T5, you won't need the pedals, but you will need the clutch hydraulics. You are also going to need a tranny crossmember, and if you have an electric speedo, a signal conversion box from dakota digital. If its mechanical, I'm not sure how to set that up.

 

yeah not a bad price... i seem them go for higher and lower..

 

good price, but they (thirdgenresource) rarely have that kind of stuff in stock................call them

 

wow thats a good price. i paid 1800 for mine... but chances are u might need a new clutch and pressure plate.. so thats another $300

 

Don't you need a new crossmember also?

 

yes, the tranny mount is moved back some i believe..

 

Where are some places where you can buy conversion kits? I've called Third Gen Resource and they are always out of stock. Where should I look?

 

If I was gonna do the swap I would just buy a complete LT1 car that has been wrecked. Ive seen lt1 cars with as low as 60k miles go for 2000 dollars here. You could probably take the tranny and still make your money back. Im sure a 60k lt1 is worth about a grand to someone.
